4.0

What keeps these from being 5 stars, or this one specifically, is the fact that once the conversation about feelings comes round, it seems very short and almost blunt? Like I need more interactions between Anne and Gilbert...you get longer ones with her friends (I love them so, especially Pris Grant). It's almost like Montgomery wasn't super comfortable with the romantic prose and dialogue, but good with the rest.

This book is my comfort read, I always find myself itching to return to the fanciful world of Anne each year. This book is probably my particular favorite in the series.
